Corbie: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

The Abbey Church of Saint-Pierre was founded in the 7th century by Queen Bathilde, the wife of Clovis II. The Porte monumentale de Corbie is a gateway built in 1740 that served as the entrance to the abbey.

Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Corbie can include the search for accommodation in their personal travel planning.

The Musée des amis du Vieux Corbie presents local history through the history of Corbie Abbey Church. The museum also includes a reconstruction of the abbey's scriptorium.

Weather permitting, the south tower of the Abbey Church of Saint-Pierre can be climbed as part of guided tours and offers panoramic views over the Somme Valley.

Nature

Corbie's Parcours Santé comprises three signposted walking routes of 2,000, 4,000 and 6,000 metres, with 22 pieces of exercise equipment at four locations.

The ponds of La Barette are artificial in origin. They were created from former quarries used by the monks of Corbie Abbey. The Sainte-Colette viewpoint overlooks the ponds of La Barette and offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Corbie's river quay has a launching point for canoes. It also provides passing or temporarily moored recreational boats with water and electricity.
